Recall for Proton Inspira and Exora

Following the worldwide recall announced by Mitsubishi Motors for certain of its models to have a defective right-turn indicator switch replaced, Proton is also recalling all of its Inspira models (adapted from the Mitsubishi Lancer) to carry out the same replacement. This is because the switch assembly comes from the same supplier as that for Mitsubishi’s models so, as a precaution, Proton will change it on all the units manufactured between 2010 and 2014. The total number affected, according to the company, is 20,330 units.

The carmaker is also asking owners of the Exora CPS 1.6 owners manufactured within the period from 2009 to 2015 to bring their MPV to an authorised Proton service centre for a precautionary inspection of the fuel line in the powertrain compartment. This recall affects 90,000 units.
